    Ahem. I am not a fan of encouraging people to post giant low-content images in Lemmy threads. It is really nice to have a mostly textual medium, and inserting huge Pikachus or Picards or Frys into it is not an improvement to this user experience. Many of the images in this thread appear at around ⅓ of screen height in the default browser UI, and they have very little new to say.

    If this sort of feature has to exist, please consider limiting it to rather small images, more in the “icon” range than the “memegens” range.

          Good practice would be to globally limit the max-width of an emoji to something like 100px anyway. When clicked, the full image opens.

        I think hexbear emojis are small on their instance but they are gigantic on every other instance. That might be the case here too. As a non world member I don’t wish to see giant images.

      Thank you. Glad I’m not the only person who hates seeing what is meant as a reddit alternative turn into Discord.

      Image and gif comments tend to get inordinate amounts of upvotes too and push actual quality comments down.
